This will probably be another short one, but it's been a while and I thought I would share a bit of news. In five days I am moving to Atlanta, to begin a great new job shortly thereafter. I have been unemployed since graduating from law school in May, only picking little temp jobs and piece assignments while looking for real work. Finally in November I was offered a really great position that allows me to move to one of my favorite cities. My best friend from undergrad and her husband live there and will be putting me up for a little while. Since I did not take proper advantage of my unemployed status and get into shape or write the next Great American Novel, one of the few joys of my long hiatus from productivity was being able to dig a bit deeper into the community here at SG. I've had some really great interactions with members here, particularly about my Social Anxiety Disorder but also about baking and camping and books and all sorts of other things. I was also unemployed just long enough for the last Robert Jordan Wheel of Time book to come out. I have been reading that series for over 22 years and was very relieved to see it come to a close. Made a nice start to the new year.

While I expect my engagement to wane a bit in the coming weeks with the move and the launching of a new career, I will still certainly try and support those amazing sets that keep popping up while also trying to follow the wonderful changes you all have going on in your lives. There are a so many great sets in MR right now, but there are a few I really must highlight, such that hopefully you can all check them out and throw them a little more love, too. Take a peak at the lovely work linked below and help them get to the front page. I used links instead of pictures to help cut down the length, but they are all worthwhile.
